Strumpet - I'm dying to hear how you got on at SW.

Horace - good luck for tomorrow.

It's official - I am 3.5lbs lighter than I was at this time last week and just short of 1/6 of the way towards my target loss of 21½lbs which will have me at 13st dead! I am very pleased with myself and have not been hungry at all during my first week on SW.

Hurray!

Hi Strumpet,

Well done on the weight loss. Keep up the good work.

I am hoping to have lost some this week when I get weighed in work on wednesday. I have not had any beer or wine for a week, that is a first for me.

:rotfl:

Take care

Hi guys,

Well I spent a fortune at the weekend as I went to Bury market which has the most amazing fish and meat hall in the world.

I bought:

1 whole salmon (Which i have jointed into 7 steaks) = £8.00
4 Rainbow Trout @ £1.30 each = £5.20
3 Sirloin Steaks = £5.00
10 Pork Steaks = £5.00
10 Chicken Breasts = £10.00

Total = £33.20
Number of meals = 34
Cost per meal: 98p

BARGAIN!!!!

Had a good weekend this weekend - nothing to do except please myself. Went to a BBQ on Saturday night and was very good foodwise - I took my own sausages and burgers which I knew were SYN free and I was driving so on the diet coke.

Went to see Harry Potter last night at the Printworks in manchester and really enjoyed it, so all in all, I had a good, stress free weekend.

Hi Strumpet,

Weighed myself this morning and I have lost 1 lbs. I'm pleased with this as I was away at the weekend and ate and drank for England:rolleyes:

I'm back on track today.

Did you enjoy Harry Potter? We are reall HP fans in our house and are going to see it on Friday (can't wait)!

Horace

I thought I had better report in...I am thankfully still alive but feel as though I have been runover by a steamroller:rolleyes: Op went well, I slept through it:rotfl: I fainted too as they put the canula into the back of my hand (how embarassing).

Hospital was a little traumatic as we had a loonie junkie demanding to be let out (patients are locked in) and so he started picking up chairs from the day room and waving them about and then he picked up another chair and was waving it in my direction when I went to the loo:mad: 3 policemen had to deal with him nad 6 were waiting outside - again I was embarrassed as GA makes me want to go to the loo so I had to ask a policeman if it was ok for me to go - how embarassing that he saw me in my primarni jimjams:eek:

Ex OH came to pick me up on Friday and he made it feel like an inconvenience, he took me shopping in Aldi (mainly for stuff for him) and then onto a pub for lunch, the rest of the time he has been on my computer or slobbing in front of the tv:mad: It is me who has had to cook dinner although I drew the line at lifting a chicken out of the oven. He went back today - and I faced a mountain of washing up (he has to use every single glass). So now I am on my own fending for myself:D

Oh and I received a free meal voucher from Waitrose trouble is I can't eat it as its fish - a rainbow trout.

The food in the hospital was pretty awful - soup that tasted of salt, cold chips, tinned veg and something that was supposed to be a shepherds pie, the ice cream was edible. Later we had sandwiches - stale and a donut which was like eating a doorstop. At least my fellow patient Ruth kept be stocked with strawberries and cherries and a couple of cherry tomatoes (her bedside was like fruiterers). Normally, their hotchoc is ok to drink but some eejit made me a some and he only used one spoon of chocolate - it was like ditchwater only ditchwater has more flavour:eek: I couldnt drink it and resorted to drinking orange juice until a nurse told me off because it would make me sick - I watered it down from the jug of water on my bedside table. Breakfast was cheapo cornflakes and a slice of cold toast with a smear of grease on it - I think our food cost 25p a head whereas the chaps in the prison next door get £1.50 per head spent on them:mad:

Well, its eye drop time - 1 lot every 2 hours, another lot once at night, and yet a third 4 x a day - I go back to the hospital on 29 July.

MrsPorridge

Horace - welcome back!

I'm sorry you had such a terrible time in hopsital. The food is always bad. I remember after I had given birth I was starving and I ordered my food (it was a tick list system), mashed potato, small, medium, large. I ticked large and got one small scoop of mashed potato - goodness knows what the small portion was.:eek:

I really hope you are feeling better now and starting on the road to recovery.

It sounds like Ex-OH was a complete waste of space and you will probably fare much better now you are on your own.

:grouphug:

Well done on the weight loss Strumpet and Horace I'm glad the op went okay and that you are back home safe and sound!

You could ask Waitrose if you can use the voucher for something else as you are allergic to fish - no harm in asking!

Hi Everyone,

What a sorry list of woes we all seem to be having!!

Welcome back Horace and hope you are on the mend. I remember the canulas from my days having chemotherapy. They were the worst part, and chemo used to make your veins collapse so they became harder to locate as them treatment went on. I used to have to sit with my hands in hot water to get the veins to come back to the surface again. Nasty.

The food I hospital was Ok but made me feel sick so me and my fellow wardmates used to go down to the refectory where the food was warmer and more edible. The first day on the tick system was the worst because you got what the previous occupant of your bed ordered the day before. I thought about ordering something yukky on my last day so the next person would have to eat sausages and strawberry yogurt with a side order of cabbage!!!

Mrs P: Well done on the 1lb loss which is excellent especially as you've been on holiday for the weekend. Hope it went well!!! I am having to move my SW group to Tuesdays for the next 2 weeks as Wednesdays are busy, so my next weigh in is now tomorrow!

Really enjoyed HP but won't say too much until you've seen it!
